🔎 Primary Three Explore the Life and Art of Vincent Van Gogh
Over the past two weeks, the children in Primary Three have been working incredibly hard on their topic about the famous artist Vincent Van Gogh. 👩🎨
They have been learning all about his life and the many jobs he enjoyed before becoming an artist. One of the highlights has been studying his iconic painting Sunflowers 🌻 in great detail.
The children have already created their own beautiful drawings, and tomorrow they are excited to use pastels to explore different tones of yellow in the sunflower petals. 🎨
This topic has been creatively linked to other areas of the curriculum too. In maths, the children have been estimating and measure 📏 the length of sunflowers, while in ICT 💻 and literacy they have been researching interesting facts online and studying the 🌻 sunflower in more depth.
A special thank you to Amelia’s granny, Nuala, a talented artist who kindly shared two of her own paintings 🖼️ for the class to study. We also want to recognise Erin, who visited the local library 📚 and carried out her own online research to share with the class.
I am incredibly proud of the enthusiasm and dedication the children have shown. They are truly inspired learners! 🤩🤩🤩
